People say that Obama’s supporters are obsessed with him but that’s nothing compared to the amount of attention his critics give him.

Too bad McCain is seen as such a lackluster republican candidate, otherwise he might get some press too.

Newsweek is a left wing rag, which gave up objectivity to become the Democratic party propaganda wing several years ago. Who gives a rip what Newsweek says.

If I were the type to try and smear McCain I might ask if this country, in the precarious position it is, can ill afford to put its hopes and future in the hands of a man (McCain) who finished 895th out of 899 in his graduating class at “the academy.” I might also wonder, out loud as the media wants to do, if that poor performance might have had something to do with him crashing a handful of jets before he was finally shot down.

I have two words for you: Greg Davis.

Mississippi is a sign of things to come – Reason?

Tuesday’s special election in Mississippi’s 1st Congressional District, in a conservative stronghold where Democrat Travis Childers cruised to an eight-point win over Republican Greg Davis despite more than $1 million in NRCC spending and a visit from Vice President Dick Cheney.

The ‘preshocks’ were in the 2006 election, the but the real ‘Republican Earthquake’ is going to be felt in November of 2008. Hang on.

I love Liz Stephans objectivity. She accuses the conservatives of always playing dirty, but not a word about the Democrats dirty tricks. way to go Liz.

Dracula: Just to clear things up — I was criticizing the Newsweek cover story and its attempt to demonize the tactics of the Republican Party/McCain campaign (even going so far as to state what the party surely would be willing to do to win if clean politics aren’t cutting it) while juxtaposing it with a highly-favorable view of how the Obama campaign is/will be run. My criticisms don’t lie with either of the two campaigns, but with Newsweek’s willingness to run a piece as a cover story that should, in my opinion, have at the least been labeled an op-ed. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Best, Liz

New Rules for Political Discussion from Newsweek:

Questioning Obama’s choice of a hateful, racist radical Spiritual Advisor–or re-printing that hatemonger’s own words = Racism.

Pointing out Obama’s own pledge to negotiate WITHOUT PRECONDITIONS with Ahmadinejad and other murderous tyrants = Smear.

Noting that Hamas explicitly endorsed Obama for US President = McCain is Senile.

When McCain and the Republicans say “America” they mean Whites.

mary factual – you are right on the money. When all is said & done, Obama may lose at least 54 of the 57 states he campaigned in.
